I flew back to Denver on Sunday, and have been spending my days unboxing my storage, visiting friends I haven't seen in over 6 months, and preparing to start a new stream schedule for my summer in Denver.

I've also been compiling the required documentation to apply for my fiance visa to return to the UK.

It's all pretty overwhelming, but at the same time, I remain positive, and just know that in the long run this will be for the best.

So all in all, it's been a hectic week, but I still try to find a little time each day to paint.It's the only thing that keeps me grounded.
